375-pound drone crashes between Pennsylvania elementary school and hotel

A 375-pound drone crashed today in Lickdale, Penn., coming
down between an elementary school and a hotel.

No one was injured when the unmanned aerial vehicle, an RQ-7
Shadow, crashed around 3:30 p.m. Thursday and was run over by a vehicle, ABC 27
reported. The aircraft crashed during Pennsylvania National Guard training
operations at nearby Fort Indiantown Gap.

The drone, which has a 15-foot wingspan, came down between
Lickdale Elementary School and a Comfort Inn.

Military officials said the UAV, worth about $125,000, is a
total loss. The car had minor damage and no one was injured.

While rare, drone crashes aren't unheard of.

In January, a U.S. border patrol drone crashed off
California coast. Reports said the Predator B drone developed mechanical
problems and its operating crew decided to bring it down in the Pacific Ocean.
